• Zhang Xiaohua concluded that Ding's hope for a fair competition was unrealistic because Zhang Xiaohu already had the advantage in the race for chief senior disciple.

Du Feng appeared close to a breakthrough, but a strong gust scattered the energy gathering above his head.

• Zhang Xiaohua checked on the Spirit-Awakening Pill in the furnace and decided to find another pill chamber for making medicine for the injured disciples.

After a night of reflection, Zhang Xiaohua resolved to pursue the Heavenly Dao and found his cultivation and pill-refining control improving. He successfully refined twenty-seven Spirit-Awakening Pills for Ou Yan, leaving him eager to see how many pills his skills might yield in the future.

• Zhang Xiaohua realized that the Heavenly Dao was the pursuit he wanted to follow and returned to the pill room to care for the Spirit-Awakening Pills.

• Zhang Xiaohua sensed the pill-nurturing process finish and carefully formed the pills while controlling his true qi and using a primordial stone.
• Zhang Xiaohua pulled twenty-seven golden-yellow Spirit-Awakening Pills from the furnace, enough to give him confidence that Ou Yan could be saved.
• Zhang Xiaohua collected the byproduct pills and wondered whether improving his skills could let him refine far more pills from the same herbs.

Zhang Xiaohu arranged for Zhang Xiaohua to treat Xue Qing’s injured arm while keeping the secret and respecting her concerns. After the treatment, Zhang Xiaohu left Wen Wenhai alone with Xue Qing, who asked him to help her up.

• Zhang Xiaohu rejected having Changge stay with him because he did not want to exclude Wen Wenhai from the secret, and Wen Wenhai arranged for Xue Qing to be treated in her bedchamber with the door open.
• Xue Qing agreed to the treatment, and Zhang Xiaohu immobilized her while Zhang Xiaohua placed jade talismans around the room and treated her arm.
• Zhang Xiaohua finished the treatment and left, while Zhang Xiaohu released Xue Qing’s acupoints and claimed he had an appointment with Changge so he could leave Wen Wenhai with her.
• Xue Qing teased Wen Wenhai and asked him to help her up, leaving him overjoyed.
